ETRS prepares for the major challenges in wound care of the 21st Century by seeking the involvement of young investigators and developing new educational initiatives to train these young investigators to enhance their career prospects.

Our mission is, to educate & expose “basic research trainees” to clinical aspects of wound repair and vice versa “clinical research trainees” to advanced lab-based research approaches, training in generic and transferable skills and provide networking and mentoring opportunities.

In 2016 we launched the first summer school.

This year’s summer school is organized on September 11-12, prior to the annual meeting. Topic will be burns; we aim to discuss all aspects in the treatment of patients with burn wounds.

We aim for a maximum of 25 participants to allow most optimal environment for networking. We encourage trainees from all backgrounds and at all career stages to apply.

It will be a 1½ day event starting Monday, September 11th around noon and end Tuesday, September 12th at the end of the day.
